To say a Carolina Windom is no good because yours fell down, is saying Ford cars are no good because I had a flat tire.
I think the term “Carolina Windom” was given as a cute name in some magazine article, describing someones version of an off center fed dipole.
Made from junk, they fall down.
I have never tried one, so I can’t comment on performance.
You can make a bad antenna (performing) from good components.
